Channel 5's full statement read: "Channel 5 and 'Big Brother' have become aware that Andrew Tate has posted a statement on Facebook about the circumstances of his departure from the 'Big Brother' house. What Andrew says in that statement is completely false.

"Andrew was not removed because of his actions inside the house. Nor was he removed for tweets allegedly posted by him prior to his entering the house. Andrew was removed because of information which came to light today."

Andrew clashed with several housemates during his short time on 'BB'

However, Andrew has since insisted that 'BB' were concerned about his "plan", continuing: "[Everyone] reads 'Fifty Shades', no one cares. They kicked me because I told my new plan to Big Brother they said it's too clever and dangerous."

Channel 5 declined to comment when HuffPost UK reached out for comment.
